SummitRUN Board Game - Get ready to race through dense rainforest, secret passages, dark tunnels and abandoned mines to reach the summit of a towering Mayan temple. To navigate this perilous route, you’ll need to be fearless, competitive and even cooperative.
Danger lurks at every move–obstacles to block your path, natural disasters to sweep you away. Think strategically as you plot your route to the summit. Remember that players only advanced toward the temple’s summit after successfully answering trivia questions about Latin America. Good luck!
Be first player to reach the summit of the temple.
SummitRUN ingeniously combines lively and interesting trivia questions about Latin America with a fast-paced board game that demands strategic thinking, planning and daring.
Help Tokens
Dominating the lively jungle scene is a grand Mayan temple. There are six challenging routes that lead to the temple’s summit. Scattered along each are Help tokens such as machetes and ropes that a player must possess in order to advance. These are earned only after a player correctly answers a trivia question.
Watch out for hurricane symbols on the board that trigger natural disasters such as earthquakes and landslides. If that weren’t enough, players receive a free Obstacle token, perhaps a jaguar or a poisonous snake, that can be used to halt a rival’s progress toward the summit.

Before any player can enter the temple, all 10 pieces of the Temple Puzzle must be in place on the board. Players must work co-cooperatively to accomplish this. Puzzle pieces are earned when a player successfully answers a trivia question. When the temple puzzle is complete, the final push to the summit begins.
